Hammers and Oldtimers

I bought this nice shiny fuller hammer at the car boot and another old head along with a shaft..
The shiny one was a bargain at 5 pounds.. The old head and shaft were a pound..
I'll fit these together soon..
And the old poster of some bygone  days when man armed with great skill and minimal tools felled these giant trees...;b

  1. We'd call it a "ballpeen" hammer over here.

  3. Nice hammer... I´m just restoring a shoemaker´s one. Quite satisfiing work, have tools made by own hand!

    All the best,

    1. Yes it is an old print of a California Redwood.. I know they should be preserved.. But that's an old pic from back in the day.... I hope all is good on the other side of the water...;b
